I have found several Ephydridae recently, is this another?

The length was 1.5 mm from the front of the face to the rear of the wings. The abdomen was shorter than the wings. Long arista!

On a squash plant, next to grasses, and woodland nearby too. West Virginia USA, 16 September 2006.

Thanks in advance for any ID help!
